Join us for a powerful conversation that bridges the gap between data and real-world impact.

In a time of increasing environmental risk and political uncertainty, access to reliable government environmental data is more crucial than ever. This panel brings together the data rescue teams who worked to preserve vulnerable public datasets and the frontline practitioners who are putting that data to work in environmental justice, policy, and public health.

Featured Topics:

• How researchers mobilized to preserve federal environmental data at risk of being lost
• Real-world applications of rescued datasets by environmental professionals
• The future of open data in an era of climate urgency
• Collaborations that empower communities and drive policy change
